The wombat

Yesterday, I read a book about wombats. I didn't get to finish it, but I'll tell ya some things I learned about wombats. First I learned that wombats are found in the forests of the Continent Australia and Tasmania. Then I learned that Wombats are marsupials. Marsupials are mammals that keep there babies in a pouch on there bodies. Kangaroos and opossums are marsupials. The third thing I learned in the book is how wombats were first known. Now wombats dig burrows in the ground. So when Europe people went to Australia, they found a strange creature digging burrows in the ground. They were thinking of it of as a badger. They decided to call it a womat or a wobat. So it got the name wombat. That was everything I learned in the book
